It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally appear in a public place in a state of nudity. "Nudity or state of nudity" means: a) the appearance or display of the human bare buttock, anus, male genitals, female genitals, or the areola or nipple of the female breast; or b) a state of dress which fails to opaquely and fully cover a human buttock, anus, male or female genitals, pubic region or areola or nipple of the female breast. "Public place" means any location frequented by the public, or where the public is likely to be present, or where a person may reasonably be expected to be observed by members of the public. Public places include, but are not limited to, streets, sidewalks, parks, business and commercial establishments (whether for profit or not for profit, whether open to the public at large, or whether entrance is limited by a cover charge or membership requirement), hotels, motels, restaurants, nightclubs, country clubs, cabarets, and/or meeting facilities. Premises, or portions thereof, such as hotel rooms, used solely as a private residence, whether permanent or temporary in nature, shall not be deemed to be a public place. This section shall not apply to children under ten (10) years of age. Furthermore, this section shall not apply to a person appearing in a state of nudity in a modeling class operated pursuant to section 15-61 of this code. (Ord. 1597 § 1, 5-1-2001)
